Right, a bit flip in ZFS cache shouldn't cause that. But a bit flip in active memory could.

It certainly could. A bit-flip in a core part of the kernel could easily cause it to lock up, if an address is corrupted and it starts writing garbage over its code, or execution jumps to somewhere unexpected, or an instruction is changed from something reasonable to a halt.

Yes, most of those should trigger a blue screen or kernel panic, but that's not guaranteed when you're making completely random changes.

In memory?

Police car.

Sure. A judge can hold anyone in contempt of court, and they can fine or jail them for any length of time.

Maybe someone willed their skull to a Halloween store.

Adblockers should block those scripts too.

Even if it didn't, don't worry about it. All it does is run a script on the webpage. It used a little of your CPU time, but otherwise doesn't affect your PC.

So what was this guy's political or ideological goal, then?

she attempted to bail her son out and had the money to do it but was told her there was a hold on her son’s release

Not for lack of trying.

That said,

Butler had been in custody since Jan. 31 and was facing traffic charges that included reckless driving, failure to stop for a blue light and driving with a suspended license.

Yeah I'm not surprised that they'd arrest him. He'd already had his license suspended for something, and continued to drive, apparently in a reckless manner. Apparently this guy was dangerous on the road, and didn't respect the non-arrest consequence, so jail it is. Still, that doesn't mean he deserves a shitty jail cell, let alone solitary confinement or death, especially not a torturous death by dehydration and rat bites.

Dry fire in a residence is fine. You have to do it a lot if you're working on anything. Heck, on a Glock, you have to do it to remove the slide. And it's part of a regular function check.

BUT, you only do it after removing the magazine, operating the action, inspecting the chamber, and pointing it in the safest direction you can (basement wall, ground outside, etc.). Certainly not at your buddy. This is pure negligence.

The general public doesn't hate McAfee that much, so I'd bet it'll work. Heck, I work in IT and I didn't even know about the rebrand (mostly because I engage with McAfee as little as possible).

Lots of places are banning those too.

Which is really stupid, because they're also banning the zero-nicotine ones that aren't harmful and aren't addictive (though may be habit-forming in the same way as snacking or drinking any beverage). Also they're useful to people trying to quit smoking because even the ones with nicotine are far less harmful than smoking.

The second thing is "always point the muzzle in a safe direction, do not point it at anything you do not wish to destroy".

I'm guessing alcohol was also involved, and though not handling firearms intoxicated is not one of the primary rules of firearms safety, it might as well be.

If it's for a porn addiction or something, sure. It doesn't sound like that's the case, though.

Or asexual. But that seems unlikely in this scenario.

You say it's far from reality, but I'm speaking from experience. I was responsible for maritime life safety systems. When those systems were implemented, they were tested and qualified for use. It didn't matter how many updates came out, if they weren't qualified, they didn't get deployed. If I had deployed an update that hadn't been qualified, it would have put lives at risk, such as by causing issues with ship detection or man overboard alerts not going off.

If you want to get really into it, like the systems that run aircraft and nuclear reactors, look up formal verification.

They didn't have a state religion, but not for lack of trying. Most of Germany was Christian in some way, and that was exploited by the Nazis, but they generally wanted their people to be Nazis first and anything else second. If Nazi Germany had continued, I'm sure Nazism would have been the state religion.

I don't think terrorism was his aim here. I haven't seen any mention of motive, so I'm assuming mental illness.

I've never heard of such a requirement. Where is that?

Here in Massachusetts, the law (MGL ch 89 sec 8) says: "At any intersection in which vehicular traffic is facing a steady red signal, the driver of a vehicle may make a right turn" (summarized, emphasis mine). May, not shall.
